Hypnotism is not an everyday thought you come across in your lifetime. Sure, you have maybe heard of it or if you are lucky enough, you’ve gotten the chance to witness it before your eyes. It is often questioned if such act can be real or if it is all played out. Truth is: we don’t quite know. But many phenomenal hypnotists sure know what true and real hypnotism is.

For example, 46-year-old, Marshall Sylver has dedicated his life entertaining people by transforming their lives into what seems like perfection. A magician by the age of 7 and an expert at the sole age of 21, Sylver was determined to use his knowledge to succeed and his confidence to excel. At a young age he realized the true power of hypnotism and used it not only in his life – but in his business. As a retired entrepreneur, he continues to help others make money and share with us the story that triggered his entire success. This is what I learned from him.

Be Confident

The most amazing hypnotist entrepreneurs love magic and admit to still find the spark that once led them to be the hypnotist they are today. For instance, one hypnotist, at the age of 16, was inspired by a presentation that had been done by one of the best hypnotist at the time. With all the money he had left, he decided to take a course and do the research to make something out of his sudden interest.He started by hypnotizing his friend, then another individual and soon enough he had three success stories. Confidence is the muscle to movement. You and I must have the confidence to perform at our best. If there is any moment of doubt…others will have it as well.

Another example of this is when Marshall was hypnotizing his wife while she was in the process of delivering a baby. He didn’t have any medic or doctor there to make sure everything was fine because he knew, that if he had the doctors there – he and his wife would doubt the entire process. If there was one ounce of doubt that this amazing hypnotist didn’t know what he was doing, the entire process wouldn’t have worked.

Be Bold

One major key to any one’s success is that boldness will always be rewarded. It goes back to the example of when they had asked Marshall how much his rate was for his magic tricks and he stated a number ten times his usual rate and they accepted. He would have never have gotten that rate if he didn’t ask for it. He dared to ask for more and because of it - his business grew exponentially. He wasn’t afraid if the other person said no. He was not afraid to fail because he was confident and realized that naturally there would be bumps along the way.You have to be bold. There’s a tremendous ROI to it, in money and in life in general.

A skilled hypnotist’s job is to take you where you want to go. He says, “You tell me what you want, I ask you where you are now and you tell me where you want to be.” If you want to be wealthy, look around and find what makes you happy and then go for that excellence. Thishypnotist entrepreneur is bold not only by his incredible work but by his assurance that everything comes to you if you envision it. Take it from a young talented entrepreneur who once charged $150 for his service and one day decided charge ten times as much.

Appreciate Where You Are Now

The problem with anxiety is that you are scared of something that hasn’t happened yet. With depression you are sad about what had happened in the past. A way to combat that is to appreciate where you are now. One thing I learned is that you can’t fully live for the future if you don’t live in the now. What you do now will determine your past and your future. If you don’t fully live in this moment, then you will never be able to fully enjoy life. The only thing that truly matters is living in the present. If you want to become an expert in your field – enjoy the process during the moment so you can have the momentum to achieve your end goal in life.

Momentum Creates More Success

The speed of how quick you can go from one win to another will determine how fast you compound your success. Personally I didn’t believe in momentum…until I actually put it into action. If I stop when things are going good, then my success won’t be as good as it could be. But if you’re on a roll and you continue to keep working hard – your success grows exponentially. One way to use momentum is when you are receiving money. For example, understanding that creating multiple flows of income isa growth hack to compounding your money.The number of times money changes hands is incredible. That’s why you often hear that the average millionaire has seven sources of income. So when you have a good thing going with one source, find another and use it to 10x your growth.
